THERE'S A BABY @ YOUR DOOR

Oh my goodness. 
I know I've really been slacking on my posts, but it just seems like with 
being in school, being sick, E being sick, and traveling so much 
I haven't found the time to post! 
Even now, I'm doing it at 10:30pm via my iPhone while laying in bed. 
Anyways, I'm really going to work on at least posting once a week, 
and this post is super awesome :) My best friend Hannah lives in PA (BOO)
and her sister (who I also adore to pieces, since she qualifies as my sister too) 
and I had been talking this past week about going to visit. 
Well, it just kind of worked out best for both of us to go THIS weekend! 
Talk about short notice - so, with that, we decided it would be best to not even tell Hannah. 
Instead, we told Hannah we would be coming in two weeks... 
She was so excited about that, but little did she know :) 
On our 5 and a half hour drive to Howard, Pa, 
Sarah and I came up with the BEST way to surprise Hannah. 
Leave Emmet at the door step... 
This actually ended up backfiring, but it was so hilarious I almost peed. 
We ring the doorbell and hide (that's Sarah creeping on the left). Well. 
It was cold out so we put a blanket on Emmet. Apparently (Hannah told us later) the blanket covered part of his face, so she didn't even know it was him!! 
She literally stood there for about 2 minutes looking down and looking around for the crazy person 
who left their baby at her door!! 
She looked so concerned that I had to make myself seen, and then of course it was all excitement.
Once we got there, we had the absolute best time in one short weekend! 
I adore my Brand girls more than anyone could know. 
They really are family. 
Here are some pictures of our weekend! 
Enjoy :) 
Can't wait to get on the road! 
(Look at this dimple^^^)
Getting excited to surprise Hannah!!
Once we got there... Seriously. 
The view from their back porch!!! 
Breath taking. 
Excited to be together of course :) 
I think I forgot to mention... We are a unique set of friends. 
Totally crazy
But what's wrong with that?! 
First stop of our awesome Saturday together: Penn State (Hannah's college)
Well, first a gift shop...then where else? 
Parking deck roof of course. 
Doesn't everyone go there? 
Typical cheerleader in us :)
WE are the three best friends that anyone could EVER have. 
Next stop? Pier One. 
We found what spoke to us ;) 
As Hannah said... This is why we shouldn't be allowed in public. 
Or maybe this is why we should :) 
Next stop? OMG. Amish farm for pumpkin pickin
We were SO amazed by all of these pumpkins and the sizes and prices of them! 
The pumpkin I am sitting on here weighs as much as me!! All of those were only 20$! 
If we could have lifted them, we SO would have gotten them! 
Instead, we went for normal size 1$ pumpkins :) 
now to paint
Our final products :) 
look at Emmet's baby pumpkin!!! 
Too cute. 
Emmet's pre-paint pumpkin and ADORABLE new hat from Aunt Hanny's school! 
After a long day... It was time for sleep and cuddles <3 
everyone wants to hold a sleeping baby. 
Then it was time for some fun SnapChats! 
Who said grapes were for eating? 
Sunday morning. 
I don't think E wanted to leave :( 
and I don't think Aunt Hannah or Aunt Abi OR Grandma Brand wanted him to either... 
As Hannah stands in front of him in his car seat, 
"you're not forgetting anything!" 
Good try. 
So. Much. Love. 

Thanks for being the best best friend, Hannah Brand! 
You can move back to VA whenever you want ;) 
I love you!!
